Event
Details
Though it has a reputation as a flat city on the plains of Nebraska,
Omaha actually offers a number of climbing and descending hills
throughout the course for the Omaha Marathon, Half Marathon &
10K, and plenty of wind to provide something of a challenge for runners
along the route. All three races in the event -- the full,
half-marathon and the 10K -- begin at the city's Omaha Civic
Auditorium, then run past the ConAgra International Campus and
southward toward the Henry Doorly Zoo to the turaround point on 13th
Street.
After the turnaround, runners head back northward toward the ConAgra
campus on their way back to the Omaha Civic Auditorium, which marks the
finish line for the half-marathon participants and the half-way point
for those running the full. The half marathon course is largely flat
terrain, and is made up entirely of paved surfaces along Omaha's city
streets.
